Well worth reposting, even 5+ years on.

“Giles Anthony Fraser (born 27 November 1964)[3] is an English Anglican priest, journalist and broadcaster who has served as Vicar of St Anne’s Church, Kew, since 2022.[4] He is a regular contributor to Thought for the Day and The Guardian and a panellist on The Moral Maze, as well as an assistant editor of UnHerd.

Fraser was born to a Jewish father and a Christian mother and was circumcised according to Jewish tradition.[5]

Fraser…has lectured on moral leadership for the British Army at the Defence Academy at Shrivenham.

On 16 January 2016, Fraser announced his engagement to Lynn Tandler, an Israeli Jew,[23] who is a weaver and academic researcher.[24] They were married on 13 February 2016.[2][non-primary source needed] Their son was born in November of the same year.[25]“

“Both my Jewish children have been circumcised. They are being brought up in a bilingual family – where Hebrew is spoken at home, despite my struggling with it. My two year old chats with his grandmother on the phone most days in broken Hebrew. Both are being regularly taken to Israel. The Rabbi of the schul in Golders Green – where my father’s family (all Jewish) were seat-holders – has been extremely welcoming...”

DNA is ingrained. People can change their views, but not their DNA.

The modern “bread and circuses”.

I recall seeing the Australian TV series Skippy the Bush Kangaroo a few times after my family moved to Sydney in 1967 (I was 10 at the time). The show was on TV from early 1968.

TV shows and films such as Skippy may seem like sentimental rubbish to some people, and to some extent they may be, but there are innumerable examples of the intelligence and capabilities of our animal friends. Some such stories become famous, others are either unknown or are known only to the few people directly involved.

Something of the sort will eventually have to come to the UK.

Interesting. I have been to Famagusta (now in Turkish-ruled Northern Cyprus), but some years ago, in fact many years ago— January 2000. I did not see the ruins of the Varosha resort, though. That is a mile south of the main town, I think.

When I drove to Famagusta (from Kyrenia), the ruins of its ancient heritage were deserted. My then girlfriend and I were alone there. There were not even any people selling postcards or the like. Even the more modern parts of the town were far from busy. That was 24 years ago, though. Things change, of course. I think that there has been quite a lot of development in some areas.

I rather liked Northern Cyprus. Relaxed and, in 2000 at least, with relatively few tourists, and really none once you left Kyrenia (officially, now, Girne). A little cold at night (in January) but warm-ish during the day, usually, and with numerous interesting ancient sites (which one shared with no other people at all) set amid orange groves. I even had a rather bracing swim off a deserted beach, but it was no colder in the water than it is in the UK in summer, and the sun was shining.

I drove one day from Kyrenia right the way down the Karpas Peninsula [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpas_Peninsula] to the eastern end. At that point, you are only 60 miles across the Eastern Mediterranean from Latakia in Syria.

General Election 2024— Clacton

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/tories-clacton-voters-nigel-farage-reform

“In a straw poll of veterans, Farage’s campaign message seemed to be getting through.

Jason Stewart was in a green beret and a biker jacket studded with medals; after a long career in the Royal Marines, he “thought it was time to get out after I was blown up twice in one day in Afghanistan”.

He offers a version of an argument heard all day. “The two main parties look both the same to me,” he says. “The Tories don’t care about us. And Labour say they will reopen prosecutions of soldiers who served [in the Troubles] so that’s a no-no. Farage and Reform seem like the only option.”

Up the road, meanwhile, opposite McDonald’s, there was an alternative display of army jeeps and vehicles alongside veterans in fatigues. The display was organised by David Bye and his partner, Linda Hazelton, who run a charity delivering homemade pie and mash to needy veterans around the town. Bye had a one-to-one chat with Farage when he visited and claims he was given certain commitments, which will remain between them.

He grew up here; he remembers earning pocket money as a kid running tourist luggage down busy streets to Butlin’s. It’s been a long decline, he says, since the holiday camp went. “I thought I’d seen it all,” he says. “But the other morning I saw a long queue of blokes on bikes waiting for McDonald’s to open. They were collecting takeaways for people who couldn’t be bothered to make breakfast for their kids.

“I don’t know where you start with some of that,” he suggests. “But I think Nigel gets it.

The place holds symbolic relevance to Farage. Exactly a decade ago, under his Ukip brand, a meeting here paved the way for that party’s only Westminster election success, for Douglas Carswell. If you were to define the moment that Brexit became a possibility, and then a reality, you might begin there. Nine hundred people showed up, many of whom had not previously taken any interest in national politics. In the course of their populist pitch, Carswell and Farage quoted liberally from a Times newspaper column the previous week written by Matthew Parris.

Looking back at that column a decade on, you can see in it all the faultlines that were exposed and exploited so cynically by Farage and Brexit, the roots of the crisis that threatens to destroy the Conservative party in this election (a humiliation from which Farage, inevitably, hopes to benefit).

Parris, in his waspish style, on a visit to Clacton in 2014, had declared its irrelevance to modern Conservatism: “This is tracksuit-and-trainers Britain, tattoo-parlour Britain, all-our-yesterdays Britain,” he wrote. He asked his party a question which would now get a very different answer: “Is this where the Conservative party wants to be? [Or] do we need to be with the Britain that can admire immigrants and want them with us, that doesn’t want to spend its days buying scratchcards?”

Parris insisted that he was not “arguing that we should be careless of the needs of struggling people and places such as Clacton. But I am arguing – if I am honest – that we should be careless of their opinions.

Farage could not have scripted a better scene for himself than the spectacle of a Tory prime minister leaving the D-day celebrations early. Tragically, as this week is proving, the forces that made his bleak and divisive message relevant in 2014 have not gone away, and in the weeks to come you suspect that Westminster political parties will still ignore Clacton at their peril.”

[The Guardian].

Not once does the full article mention the fact that the person presently posing as PM is “unelected” (at least, unvalidated by a General Election) and a little Indian money-juggler; but there you are…”The Guardian”…

Interesting, though, all the same. I think that Farage has every chance of being elected at Clacton. The only reason that the Conservative Party candidate Giles Watling (MP since 2017, a long-retired actor, and a member of the Garrick Club, who lives at Frinton, the more expensive part of the constituency) got over 70% of the vote in 2019 is because his political stance is akin to that of UKIP/Brexit Party/Reform UK anyway.

Watling came second, behind ex-Conservative Douglas Carswell (for UKIP) both at the 2014 by-election and the 2015 General Election, and only won in 2017 because Carswell stood down. Having said that, Watling did get 36.7% in 2015, only about 8 points behind Carswell.

While the election at Clacton might yet be close, Farage has every chance now. Labour and other parties are spectators at Clacton. Labour’s best was 25.4% (in 2017, when the Cons got over 60%).

Interestingly, that 2017 Labour candidate, Natasha Osben, is now, in 2024, the Green Party candidate. Starmer is really not very popular even within the Labour —or recently Labour— ranks.

Will Labour voters vote tactically? If so, for Reform UK or for the Conservative Party? My money is on Reform UK.

Tactical voting

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/i-want-labour-to-come-into-power-so-im-voting-lib-dem-tactical-voting-threatens-blue-wall-tories

“Alarmingly for Conservative HQ, many polling experts believe the conditions are ripe for a repeat of 1997, when tactical voting benefited Labour and the Lib Dems and cost the Tories dozens of seats, most notably the toppling of Michael Portillo in Enfield Southgate. This time, Shapps is among the big beasts who could suffer their own polling night infamy.

Tactical efforts came to little at the last election. Hopes among pro-Remain campaigners of an anti-Brexit tactical vote were dashed as Boris Johnson won an 80-strong majority. But conditions have changed. Peter Kellner, the veteran pollster, wrote in the Observer before the 1997 election that while he detected little “positive enthusiasm” for Labour, an electorate with “a burning desire to end 18 years of Tory rule” made for receptive tactical voting conditions. He believes similar ingredients are present today.

While the net effects of tactical voting are hard to calculate, the Liberal Democrats could gain 10-20 extra seats through anti-Conservative tactical voting, according to an analysis by the Electoral Calculus consultancy. Meanwhile, with the added help of Nigel Farage and Reform UK, the tactical dynamic could push Labour closer in another swathe of previously safe Tory seats.“

Conservative losses

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jun/08/from-humiliation-to-annihilation-could-this-election-mean-the-end-of-the-tory-party-as-we-know-it

“Writing in the Observer, Rob Ford, a leading expert on voting intention and trends, says the evidence from polls shows that “an electoral asteroid is streaking through the atmosphere” and is heading for the Tory heartlands. Ford no longer thinks it impossible that the Conservatives could end up with less than 100 seats, so badly is their campaign misfiring and so much trust have they lost over 14 years and the tenures of five prime ministers.

Other polling experts say that such is the geographical spread of the Tory vote, and the brutal nature of the first past the post system, that once their vote drops into the low 20% region, the number of seats could fall into double digits – and could go as low as 20.“

[Observer/Guardian]

I have speculated for quite a while that the Con vote might go low enough nationwide to leave the Cons with as few as 50 MPs. Perhaps I was right (I sometimes am…).

More tweets

Quite right.

Entitled self-seeking political hog Emily Thornberry, who only became “Labour” in the first place after her highly-paid UN-working father deserted her and her mother, abandoning his wife and daughter, and resulting in their having to relocate to a council house. She is motivated by malice and early spite and/or envy.

Emily Thornberry and her husband (a retired High Court judge) are buy-to-let parasites, incidentally; I believe that I read that they own, or used to own, at least 8 buy-to-let properties. Pro-Israel, too.

[Emily Thornberry and husband with the then Israeli Ambassador to the UK, Mark Regev, at a Zionist banquet in London]

The Conservative Party now deserves to be not only removed from government, and preferably entirely wiped out, but do not imagine that fake “Labour” will be much if at all better. Look at its leaders and major influencers: Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves, Yvette Cooper, Liz Kendall. All members of Labour Friends of Israel. All self-seeking moneygrubbers too.

David Lammy, that ignorant creature, as well.

That thick creature might be Foreign Secretary soon. Poor Britain…

Another Labour Friends of Israel member.

Emily Thornberry slightly reminds me of Mrs Mossberg, a fat, short and jolly Jewish primary school teacher, usually —in my memory— dressed in a long dark-brown mink coat; I knew her circa 1962, when about 5 or 6 years old and a pupil at Caversham Primary School near Reading. Mrs Mossberg, though, was far more pleasant than Emily Thornberry seems to be.

In retrospect, I wonder why Mrs Mossberg ever bothered to be a teacher, which I doubt paid much. She lived not far from my family, a few roads away, in a large detached house. The main reception room, which I saw at least once, seemed enormous to the 5-y-o me, and it had a large grand piano in it. Maybe she just enjoyed teaching.

The last tweeter says that Emily Thornberry owns 4 properties; I thought I read 8 somewhere.

“Elite“, though, seems the wrong word to describe that bunch of clowns.

Reminiscent of the last recruits of the Volkssturm in 1945…

[Volkssturm, Berlin, 1945; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkssturm]

In fact, the Volkssturm recruits above look both younger and healthier than those Kiev-regime “volunteers” or pressganged recruits.

[Germany 1945— Volkssturm recruits being taught how to use the Panzerfaust anti-tank weapon; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzerfaust]

Well, I cannot read Hebrew, and there is no translation, so I have no idea what the untermensch may have written in relation to his vandalism of that family’s house.

From what little one hears or reads, some of the chiefs or former chiefs of Israeli Intelligence (MOSSAD, Shin Beth, Aman etc) are also not optimistic about Israel’s long-term or even medium-term survival.

GE 2024 latest

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13509231/conservatives-election-wipeout-labour-majority-mail-sunday-poll.html

“Conservatives face election wipeout with Labour set to gain a 416 majority that could see Rishi Sunak LOSING his seat and the Tories being left with just 39 MPs, shock Mail on Sunday poll reveals.”

[Daily Mail]

If that turns out to be correct on 4 July 2024, I will have been proven correct, and the “experts” and “specialists” (who have been saying 100-200 Con MPs left post-GE 2024) would be wrong (again)…

Also true, arguably. About the same, I should say.

The first tweet confirms what I have been blogging re. Clacton. It is between Reform UK (Farage) and the Cons (Giles Watling). Labour has no chance at all, but Labour voters in Clacton can be the kingmakers. Their votes can swing it, either for Reform or for the Cons.

Even if the second tweet is accurate, and it may not be, voters can still give the Cons a mighty and historic kick by voting Reform UK and thus preventing the Conservative Party from thriving, or even surviving.

The very fact that such a grassroots campaign is even necessary shows how sick society has become.

Refers to Robert Largan, the Israel-puppet and Jewish-lobby puppet who is desperately trying to keep his Commons seat at High Peak (Derbyshire), with its good pay and better expenses and perks, but he really has no chance. Make him get a real job.

High Peak voters should vote either Reform UK or Labour to get rid of Largan.

God. Myerson again. When is the Judicial Standards Investigations Office at least going to stop this obsessive from sitting in judgment over others? The Bar Standards Board might like to take a look too.

…and few indeed of the British public are aware of the fact that the declaration of war by Britain on the German Reich in 1939 was not only totally unnecessary but led to immense unnecessary bloodshed and misery, and to negative consequences from which the world is still suffering.

“In 2019, Antifa beat me on the head and face, causing a traumatic brain injury as I suffered bleeding on my brain. As I struggled to get away, they threw drinks in my eyes to blind me so I couldn’t get help. I remember their laughter as I was bleeding from my ear and eyes. I was lucky to survive and recover.

Many leftists on social media are celebrating that someone hurled a drink in the face of @Nigel_Farage today as he was campaigning in Clacton, Essex. They’re reveling in the fear that a victim feels when being hit in the eyes with an unknown liquid—in a country that suffers acid attacks. The celebrations are emblematic of a level of political violence that the left tolerates and desires on their political opponents.“

Perpetrators of violent attacks, such as that in Clacton yesterday, must be punished properly. I doubt whether the present minor judiciary has the will to do that.

I blogged about these issues several years ago:

Repulsive Jo Brand, Repulsive BBC

Farage has been attacked before, as was Nick Griffin (in 2010, I think).

Very true. If only, though, the British and French had retained control of the Middle East and North Africa after WW2. No crazy demagogues, no “Israel”, no war…

Manchester, apparently. Here, though, on the Hampshire coast, it is 16C and partly cloudy, partly sunny.

By my use of Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html], a similar result: Labour 488 MPs (majority 326), Con 82, LibDems 43, Greens 1, Reform UK 0, Plaid 3, SNP 14 (and Northern Irish 18).

Almost but not quite a Con wipeout.

I myself still think that <50 is a possibility for the Cons. I concede that the many experts and specialists are against me, but my reasons are as previously blogged:

  • the fact that few 2019 and earlier Con voters now think of the Con Party and Government as anything other than completely useless;
  • that there are many (or are there?) “secret” Reform UK intending or possible voters; and
  • that there are many voters who will vote tactically to sink the Cons, even if many of the same voters hate, despise or fear Starmer-Labour.

A point or so fewer for the Cons, a point extra for Labour, a point extra for the LibDems, and a point or so more for Reform UK, and the Con cadre of MPs would reduce to only 30.

This is no exact science.

“This is a guest post from an anonymous 25-year-old member of Gen-Z. They live in London. They work in Westminster. And they are utterly fed-up with the dire state of the country.

If you believe the polls then the Tory party is about to be completely rejected by my generation, Gen-Z, the members of which were born in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Remarkably, just 5% of us are planning to vote Tory next month while a staggering 83% are planning to either vote Labour, Lib Dem, Green, or SNP.

But as one of those few right-leaning Zoomers, let me tell you —even that 5% figure is deeply misleading. Why?

Because, as Matt pointed out on Twitter/X, one enormous problem facing the Tories today is not just the remarkably low number of Zoomers who are planning to vote Conservative; it’s that the few Zoomer conservatives who do exist are also utterly fed-up and frustrated with the party and want to see it completely obliterated.

And why do they feel like this, exactly?

Well, consider my own story.

I’m writing this at 3am in the morning and I have less than four hours before I need to get up and start my morning routine for work.

But, once again, the neighbours who live downstairs, below my flat, have decided to have another all-night party. And unlike me, they don’t have to wake up for work.

Because, unlike me, they don’t have to work.

They qualify for social housing; their rent is subsidised by the large and rising amount of council tax I am forced to pay each month —on top of ruinous income taxes, national insurance contributions and student loan repayments.

The majority of the tenants in my housing block are unemployed; I see few of them leaving the house for work in the morning.

My interactions with them are limited to hostile glaring mixed in with the occasional attempted mugging. On the rare occasion I have female company I have to escort my dates to and from the bus stop to stop them being sexually harassed.

What scraps of my salary the State allows me to keep are eaten up immediately by rent. I pay almost half my post-tax income to live on an ex-council estate in Zone 3, London, with the smell of weed continually hanging in the air.

Unless I achieve an income of more than £200,000 it will simply be impossible to secure a mortgage on a house the same size as the one my parents bought in 1989.

My friends work in high-powered finance and legal careers but, like me, struggle on with flatshares well into their late 20s, if not their early 30s.

They are spending the best decade of their life working until midnight seven days a week for the chance to attain the same middle-class lifestyle their parents achieved much earlier in life.

The reward for being wildly successful financially in 2024? To live in a semi-detached house that was built for unskilled professionals in inner London a century ago.

And that’s not all …

If I decide to have children, which you might think ought to be encouraged given the demographic crisis facing Western nations like Britain, I will have to contend with extortionate childcare costs, or deprive my household of a second income.

Renting a three-bedroom flat in a safe part of London will cost in excess of £3,000 a month; my children will have to grow up in far more cramped conditions than I did, most likely having to share a room and perhaps dodging stray bullets.

The only feasible route out of this incredibly depressing situation is to leave the city I grew up in and commute two hours both ways from a town I have no local connection to —where I have no friends or family living nearby.

Even with cheaper housing, I will still have to send my kids to local schools where they will be bombarded with relentless propaganda about how to ‘change their gender’, acknowledge their ‘whiteness’, and apologise for the British Empire.

It is certainly true that previous generations of young people faced more challenging circumstances. I am not (yet) being asked to walk across No Mans Land and into a sea of barbed wire and machine guns.

But it is one thing being asked to suffer for a cause like liberty in Europe, or to grimace through destitution because of seemingly uncontrollable events like the Wall Street Crash. It is quite another to be economically enslaved to the point of infertility to sustain a growing population of resentful dependents. 

And I am one of the lucky ones...”

Barwell is a silly little guy. A joke. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Barwell.

As for Goodwin’s rhetorical questions…https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan.

Barwell seems to imagine that, as the (white/Brit) workforce ages, it can simply be replaced by black, brown (etc) imported equivalents. Not so. A high proportion of the imports (and offspring thereof) are parasitic and/or useless, with a smaller proportion actively criminal or terroristic.

Barwell’s thesis (to thus dignify it) seems to be that, as —say— 1M Brits age, retire, or die, the thing to do is to import 10M unwanted non-European immigrants in the hope that 10% of them can replace the 1M Brits who have checked out of the labour market (or life). What about the notional 9M other imports? They may be (and most are) useless, or near-useless, but all need/want/demand housing, food, water, shelter, NHS services, money…

Not sure whether that is Krakow or the rebuilt (post-WW2) old central part of Warsaw. Maybe the latter. I saw both on several trips to Poland in 1988 and 1989, but I should probably not recognize much of the newer areas now, judging by photos I have seen. The changes, esp. in Warsaw, have been immense.

“Jack Monroe” and other frauds

I have covered on the blog, in past years, various aspects of the fraudulent “grifting” of “Jack Monroe”, but even today there are, it seems, utter mugs around who not only believe her nonsense but also send money to her.

I have also covered, to a lesser extent, other similar frauds: Simon Harris, aka “Man Behaving Dadly” (Essex Jew who blagged £600,000 from Essex County Council, as well as large amounts from individual mugs online); “Supertanskiii” (whose modus operandi is to post tweets etc shouting angrily and often vulgarly at “the Tories”, while asking mugs to send her money; what will she do when her beloved fake “Labour” turns out to be as bad, or worse?); Julia Grace Patterson (her u.s.p. is that she was briefly a medical doctor in the NHS —for about 2 years—); Mike Stuchbery (see https://ianrobertmillard.org/2019/10/23/a-few-words-about-mike-stuchbery/) etc.

Then of course, there is the “Captain Tom” fraud/embezzlement/”grift”, carried out by the daughter and son-in-law of the ancient ex-officer who raised millions (supposedly for the NHS) by that now-famous yet brainless stunt of traversing his garden lawn on a Zimmer frame thousands of times a few years ago. “Captain Tom” himself was no doubt sincere; his daughter is just a freeloading fraud.

As the BBC might say “other fraudulent grifters are available“…

Even I myself was briefly taken in by the Depher fraud (see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c3gxg4jd0ggo), and gave a few pounds a couple of times.

…and still sob-storying about “her boy“, who must be 20 years old now, and who (it is said) was mostly taken care of by others, not by drink/drug wreck “Jack Monroe”.

A black woman in Bristol was imprisoned for doing but a fraction of what “Jack Monroe” has done. I am hardly likely to intone “is it ‘cos she is black?“, but it hardly seems fair or just when “Jack Monroe’s” behaviour has been 100x worse… see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13283627/black-lives-matter-blm-fraud-bristol-colston-statue-protest.html.

I still fail to see how “Jack Monroe” asking for money to sue Lee Anderson and Martin Daubney (and then spending the money on her own pleasures and whims) is any different to what Xahra Saleem did.

The BBC must be defunded.

Not that I have much time for Farage, for several reasons. For one thing, “net zero” migration would still, if implemented, mean about 200,000 non-whites entering the UK and staying indefinitely, because about that many persons (mostly whites people, i.e. real British people) leave every year to try to find a decent life is Australasia or North America etc.

Well, of course, Sunak has all the charisma or “in-touch-ness” of a limp lettuce, something that Sunak has in common with ludicrously over-promoted and now washed-up 49-day-PM Liz Truss.

That reminds me: I have heard and seen nothing, for weeks if not months, about or from Woollyhead Trussbanger (Kwasi Kwarteng), who lasted only 38 days as Chancellor, yet received a payoff for those 38 days of nearly £17,000 (in addition to salary etc): see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kwasi_Kwarteng#Dismissal.

Woollyhead will get another quite decent payoff, because he is not contesting his safe seat at Spelthorne (Surrey), which has only once elected a non-Conservative— in 1945. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spelthorne_(UK_Parliament_constituency)

I can only imagine that Woollyhead has a very good job offer somewhere. Who on Earth would employ him? Puzzling. still, there it is.

Controlled opposition. The Conservative Party is generally pro the Jewish/Zionist/Israel lobby, and Israel itself. So is Farage. So is Goodwin. Get the picture?

Only a social-national party or movement can save the future of this country, but such a party or movement does not exist. The nearest is Patriotic Alternative, I suppose.

Hard to believe.

I too, like tweeter “@JoeeggJoe”, think that the Cons have the potential to fall further. Now that Farage is Reform UK leader, Reform may increase its support, not so much because Farage is wildly popular but simply because Reform now as a very identifiable leader, which was not the case with Tice.

I also tend to think that there is a bloc of “secret Reform UK” voters, unwilling to admit to it publicly or to poll canvassers, but who, on 4 July (or before that, in postal voting), will put their X by Reform UK candidates, either because they support Reform UK anyway, or because they see it as the best way, where they live, of kicking the Conservative Party).

The clowns at Westminster are far more amusing (usually, though, unintentionally) than the huge number of officially-approved and unfunny “comedians” we see in the msm.

Good grief! Ecce the new Mayor of “Derry” (“Londonderry”, as was). So much for Irish nationalism! The SDLP, and Sinn Fein, are as fake as the SNP and Plaid Cymru. Is this what the IRA and others struggled for, all those years, all those decades, indeed all those centuries?!

More music

I like The Shadows for several reasons. Firstly, their music reminds me of my fairly early years of childhood, I having been born in 1956 (and so was about 6-7 in 1963). Secondly, their originality and quality. Thirdly, their music evokes a sense of the optimism of England in the years of the early/mid 1960s. Fourthly, they are or were unmistakably English, for all their enthusiasm for Americana (eg their piece, F.B.I.) in those Atlanticist years.

I remember seeing their name on the outside of the Kursaal in Ostend (Belgium) in the summer of maybe 1963, maybe 1965, along with that of Cliff Richard, when they were his backing group.

Nigel Farage attacked in Clacton

The smug look on the little bitch’s face says it all. Entitled. Probably pig-ignorant. Probably either a student or a trustafarian, or maybe unemployed. My money would be on her being a student of some kind, probably from an affluent family.

Almost certainly pro-mass migration and the invasion of the UK.

Regular readers will be aware that I am no fan of Farage’s “controlled opposition” “conservative nationalism” but this must be punished. I doubt that that will happen.

I wrote a piece about this type of sub-terrorism some years ago, when Farage was again the victim of an idiot milkshake-thrower, and the terminally unfunny supposed “comedienne”, Jo Brand, “joked” that it should have been battery acid.

Repulsive Jo Brand, Repulsive BBC

Will the police track down and arrest the woman who today attacked Farage? I wonder…

Obviously, today’s attack was very predictable, and Farage does not seem to have effective personal protection.

I wonder whether Farage will get more votes because of what happened today. Maybe. Certainly, I have scoured the Press looking for any mention of his Conservative Party opponent, one Giles Watling, but without result. Watling is invisible in Clacton. Farage is the only game in town, both for those who like his candidature and those who hate it (and him).

Farage is probably a good deal more sanguine about the attack today than I should be in his position. I am restricted in what I can express, by reason of my free speech trial last year, which has had at least a marginally chilling effect on my freedom of expression, but I think that my regular readers will be able to read between the lines.

The perpetrator should be identified and arrested, though. At least that.

I see that a 25-y-o woman from Clacton has now been arrested: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/06/04/milkshake-thrown-nigel-farage-campaign-clacton/.

I presume that we shall know more about her when she appears in the magistrates’ court.

[the guilty party: note the “entitled” smug smirk]

I have now seen a small piece about Giles Watling, on the BBC website:

“Mr Watling told BBC Essex that Mr Farage “doesn’t give two hoots” about the constituency.

“This is all about Nigel, as ever,” said the former actor, who appeared in 1980s BBC sitcom Bread.

“I don’t want to see the residents of Clacton-on-Sea taken for granted and sacrificed on the altar of his vanity.”

Mr Watling said he felt it was his job to “transform Clacton’s future” by using government funding he had secured.”

[BBC]

Watling himself seems rather remote from the majority of Clacton residents and voters. I notice that, in the photo on the BBC website, he is wearing a Garrick Club tie:

Does Watling have much in common with most of his constituents?

Basic Income

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockton,_California#Experiment_in_Guaranteed_Basic_Income

“As part of a privately funded experiment in Universal Basic Income in 2019, the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration (S.E.E.D.) conducted a pilot project that gave a $500 stipend to 125 randomly selected residents for an 24-month period with “no strings attached.“[51] “

[Wikipedia]

“SEED was a Randomized Control Trial that distributed $500 a month for 24 months to 125 recipients. The cash was unconditional, with no strings attached and no work requirements, and recipients were selected randomly from neighborhoods at or below Stockton’s median household income.

Results gathered from the first year, which spanned February of 2019 to February of 2020, found recipients obtained full-time employment at more than twice the rate of non-recipients. Recipients were less anxious and depressed, both over time and compared to the control  group. They also saw statistically significant improvements in emotional health, fatigue levels and overall well being. Recipients had a greater ability to pay for unexpected expenses.

People spent the SEED money on basic needs, including food (nearly 37%), sales/merchandise (22%, on home goods, clothes/shoes and discount/dollar stores), utilities (11%) and auto costs (10%). Less than 1% was spent on alcohol and/or tobacco.”

https://www.stocktondemonstration.org/press-landing/guaranteed-income-increases-employment-improves-financial-and-physical-health

In my view, Basic Income must be the way to go, with AI and robotics impacting employment and set to do so more. The alternative to Basic Income is to have a tiny sliver of the population ultra-wealthy, a wider layer wealthy, and about 80% of the population near-destitute.

So far today, by my count, Myerson has tweeted and retweeted about 28 times. On a Tuesday, and mostly this afternoon. Relatively modest by his standards.

Well worth reading the whole thread. It happened not in 1980s (or 1950s) South Africa, not in Russia, not in Kazakhstan, nor in China, but in one of the wealthiest states of the USA, California. So much for “the land of freedom”. Really bad.

Saturday quiz

Well, this week a very poor 3/10, the same as political journalist John Rentoul. I only knew the answers to questions 4, 5, and 8.

South Africa

White South Africans should never have given in to the ANC. They should have held out and fought on. In fact, they should have “doubled down” on everything.

After the fall of socialism from 1989, the Soviet Union all but collapsed, the DDR/East Germany imploded, Cuba suddenly became visibly what Soviet aid had disguised for 20+ years, i.e. a ramshackle Caribbean/Latin American dictatorship, and the African countries bordering South Africa fell even deeper into poverty, civil upheaval, corruption and crime.

In other words, the ANC and its “military”/terror wing would have had no means to carry on much of a war. If South Africa had held on, and had accelerated its plans for a kind of “Federation”, including some areas with African domestic autonomy, and had the white South Africans closed down most of the —mostly Jewish-owned— English-language newspapers (and TV), there would have been a kind of victory, or at least not the terrible situation that has developed in the past 30 years.

South Africa had, or was developing, advanced weaponry: nuclear, biological etc.

The Africans were, in effect, told that the reason most of them were poor was because the white man was, usually, richer. After “majority rule” (corrupt African crony rule) that would of course be different. The ANC failed, and inevitably failed, to deliver. Hence the African masses, their lives as bad or worse than under National Party apartheid rule, now turn to ever more extreme demagogues. The future seems bleak, both for most Africans and most of the remaining white South Africans, some of whom can trace their South African identity back to the 17thC.

What would (those Hitler called) “dirty democratic politicians” (and parties) do without mugs such as tweeter “@BoudicaWitch”?

There is no real difference between what fake Labour is saying and what Iain Dunce Duncan Smith was saying from 2010-2015. Wake up, for God’s sake.

Utter mugs. “Labour” is just a label now (like “Conservative”). Both parties are NWO/ZOG fronts. That “assessment” by tweeter “@RattusMalumus” is not an assessment at all but a pathetic grasping at straws.

Liz Kendall is another Labour Friends of Israel member. She is also as thick as two short planks.

God help Britain, with Labour likely to be gifted an “elected” dictatorship by default, thanks to the Sunak government’s total inability to govern.

[“but wait! I voted Labour!“…]

For me, this election means only one thing useful— to collapse the Conservative Party, resulting in a total imbalance of the rigged “two main parties” scam, after which (when Labour becomes hated and despised…give it 6-12 months) there may be a chance for real social nationalism to come to the fore, one way or another.

If my blog was said to have contained 5 posts (out of about 1,500 over several years) worthy of being prosecuted as “grossly offensive” (not really at all offensive), then how is it that Israel lobby/Jewish lobby puppet Luke Akehurst has never been prosecuted? Look at his tweet below:

Oh, wait…Akehurst supports Israel…that is why he has never been prosecuted.

[Update, 16 June 2024: looking again at Akehurst’s tweet above, I realize (anew) how illiterate it is. Is he a drunk? I do not know]

Liz Kendall is a human parrot. Not an original thought in her head.

See my previous comment.

Frighteningly thick, frighteningly dishonest.

I have no time for pro-Israel snake-oil salesman Farage, but I agree with the rest of that tweet.

The “experts” and specialists are still saying, most of them, that Con MPs will number 100-200 after 4 July, but I am holding out for <50; maybe wishful thinking, but that is my speculative guess, anyway.

Completely useless Nigerian would-be politico, who lives off his affluent parents (both NHS consultants) and whatever he can “grift” via social media etc, goes to Manhattan from the UK so that he can post a tweet of himself making a hand gesture at Trump Tower. Well, that’s another week in which the useless parasite need not get a job, at age 34. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Femi_Oluwole.

Incredibly, 412,000 people apparently follow that idiot’s Twitter/X account.

(In fact, I think that the said parasite’s New York odyssey was a couple of years ago).

Another one who claimed to be happy that he had emigrated to his beloved Israel. He was tweeting that only a week or two ago. He said that the UK was rubbish, finished etc, as well as being (of course) “antisemitic”, and that he was so happy to now live in Tel Aviv. Well, here he is again, like a bad penny, in (near) London.

Catspaws for Israel and the Jewish lobby. My view? See cartoon below:

Unfortunately, so is Farage. So is Reform UK. The acid test is whether the Israel-lobby and/or Jewish lobby attack someone or his party. If so, then he and his party might or might not be OK; if not, then he and his party will either be a complete and useless nullity, or they are (to a greater or lesser extent) under “control”.

That includes TV, radio, and Press coverage.

Farage is always welcome on TV, for example. Same goes for Goodwin, as a matter of fact.

Were I to have a million followers, I should still not be “allowed” on TV, radio, or (uncensored) in the newspapers. You know (((why))).

A 1960s book was called I’m OK— You’re OK. Well, speaking ideologically, I know that I am OK, but you may or may not be…

From the newspapers

https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/cruel-police-officer-wife-jailed-32927952?int_source=nba

“A police officer and his wife have been jailed after sharing video footage of a dead body at a murder scene.

Cameron Lee Hanson, 33, was a serving officer at Lancashire Constabulary when he visited a home in October 2021 and discovered the body of 45-year-old James O’Hara. Hanson’s body-worn camera recorded the chilling scene at the property in Lancashire.

But minutes later, he used his personal phone to take videos of Mr O’Hara and sent audio messages about the incident to his wife, Kirstie Hanson, 33, a police civilian work.

On Thursday, Cameron Hanson was jailed for 32 months, while Kirstie Hanson was jailed for 18 months. Charlotte Riley, who was sent one of the videos, received a 12-month sentence suspended for two years. Last April, Michael Hannan, 32, was jailed at Preston Crown Court for five years and four months for the manslaughter of Mr O’Hara who he punched in an unprovoked stranger attack.“

[Daily Mirror].

How absurd is the UK now? Yes, the defendants should not have done it. By all means sack the policeman, and maybe fine him, and his wife, and even the woman who was sent the material… but prison? Seems almost ridiculously harsh, as does the term imposed— a headline 32 months for sending some video footage, as against 64 months for the defendant who actually killed the victim!

Ha ha. Largan has those 4 dummies supporting him, but no-one else, probably.

Largan talks about “voting local“, when he himself was born some distance away, in or near the Salford part of SW Manchester; when parachuted into High Peak (Derbyshire), he was living in Fulham (London) and working for Marks & Spencer.

Largan was very happy to (metaphorically) kick local resident Alison Chabloz when she was down (persecuted by Jew-Zionists, and eventually imprisoned for singing and posting cartoons and videos).

Largan is a member of Conservative Friends of Israel, needless to say. A nasty little man. I believe that he tweeted and/or retweeted a few times against me several years ago. Well, time for him to go back to “Marks and Sparks”…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Largan.

In my own local zone, I should say that, in 2020-2022, and out of a close field, the “social distancing” outside Waitrose was the most absurd, all the compliant idiots (or were they secretly rebellious, as in North Korea?) lining up, 6 feet apart in the car park, monitored by self-important “security” nobodies. Oh…and muzzled (facemasked) as well.

Meanwhile, inside Waitrose, no social distancing, and a ludicrous “one way system” for shoppers. As for the facemask muzzles, the only real utility of them was probably for the shoplifters, who probably found them useful in defeating cctv operators etc.

Oh, yes…another aspect of that madness of a few years ago, locally, was the pub opposite Waitrose, where no social distancing, and no facemask muzzle “rules”, applied. What a farce the whole “Covid” scamdemic/panicdemic was!

The Americans got “here”, or there, by allowing “the usual suspects” to become embedded in their society over time, embedded in positions of power and influence.

Election news

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13477879/Only-one-four-voters-Tories-poll-Labour.html

“Rishi Sunak has been given a glimmer of hope as a major new poll by Lord Ashcroft suggests that more than half of voters have yet to definitively make up their minds.

With less than five weeks until the General Election, the research shared exclusively with the Daily Mail found only four in ten have ‘definitely decided’ how to vote.

But in a sign of the mountain the Tories still have to climb, the poll gives Labour a 23 point lead. 

Overall, it puts Labour on a 47 per cent vote share, with the Tories on 24 per cent, and Reform UK on 11 per cent.”

Assuming honesty and relative accuracy of the poll, several points stand out for me.

Firstly, that this poll is not at all the “glimmer of hope” for Sunak and the Cons that the report accompanying it is spinning.

42% have “definitely decided” which way they are going to vote. Looking at recent polling elsewhere, that must greatly favour Labour. As for “...leaning towards a party” but “not definitely sure“, that could apply to any of the parties, but if most end up with Labour, then it is possible that Lab could end up, overall, topping 50%, leaving the Cons with a MP cadre in the single figures.

It might also mean, thinking of my previous speculation on the blog, that there are more people than polls suggest willing to vote Reform UK, if only as a protest, or as a method of giving the time-expired Conservative Party a kicking without having to vote Labour. “Secret” Reform UK voters. Do they even exist? We do not know. I think that they may exist, but in what numbers?

Anything up to 31% of eligible voters may not vote, it seems.

One big unanswered question is how many under-40s and especially under-25s will bother to vote, they being heavily pro-Labour.

On the other hand, the over-70s are the only age demographic more likely to vote Con than Lab. If significant numbers either vote Labour (unlikely) or Reform UK (much more likely) or simply abstain (not unlikely) then Sunak and the Cons really are in trouble.

Other takeaways include the fact (if it is a fact) that only 23% think that Sunak etc can do better than others at “running the economy” (Lab 37%; Don’t Know 39%, tellingly). For a Prime Minister with a banking and financial/business background, and who was, not so long ago, Chancellor of the Exchequer, that is very much a thumbs-down.

The voters’ assessments of the characters of Sunak and Starmer are not so very different.

Sunak is assessed by only 8% as being “up to the job“, while only 12% assess him as even being “competent“. That’s damning. (Starmer’s equivalent ratings were 18% and 21%, scarcely a ringing endorsement, but still far better than Sunak).

Ashford’s poll figures, fed into Electoral Calculus [https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/userpoll.html] suggest a result of Labour MPs 513, Cons 71, LibDems 31, SNP 12, Greens 2, Plaid 3, Reform 0, Northern Irish 18.

Very very bad for the Conservative Party, but not quite existentially so..

On that basis, there would still be a considerable Con bloc of 71 MPs, and the Cons would still be the official Opposition, however ineffective.

My own feeling, whether it be right or wrong, is still that the Cons may be reduced to below 50 MPs, and that the LibDems may exceed that by default (tactical voting), thus making the LibDems the Opposition in the Commons.

If that were to occur, the defeat would be existential for the Cons. No “bright young” (mostly idiot) careerists (think Liz Truss, once upon a time…) would want to join, and big donors would not bother to pump money into funding the Cons. A “death spiral”, as people say.

Election date— Thursday 4 July 2024. Less than 5 weeks to go.

The American government seems to have lost, if not its mind, then any sense of perspective.

If Country A sells or, even worse, gives Country B arms and ammunition, and especially if that is with the express intent that Country B should attack the territory of Country C, then that is pretty close to being an act of war by Country A against Country C.

Stop this mad slide to a quite possible superpower nuclear war.

It is widely mooted that the combat-ready spearhead numbers no more than 30,000, if that. Maybe as low as 20,000. Plus about 5,000 Royal Marines under naval command. Plus 4,000 Gurkhas. Plus Reserves.

An impressive show. Is it any more than that?

I do not have enough information to guess accurately at the likely outcome of the U.S. Presidential Election, but peace would be better served were Trump to be re-installed at the White House, no matter what his personal deficiencies.

“I publicly disagreed with the IHRA definition of antisemitism by reference to the arguments of Sir Stephen Sedley (on any view a hugely respected jurist) that it protects Israel from legitimate criticism.

That led to people publishing confidential and dangerously defamatory information about me. And lots more people publishing crude and dehumanising abuse of me. And grotesque accusations of antisemitism about me. And 4 years of litigation where a total wing-nut UK Lawyer for Israel tried to bankrupt me. And a trial where witnesses made untrue or wildly exaggerated statements to try to ruin my reputation.

In the end I won, but my experience confirms Lemoine’s argument. It was awful and exhausting and no doubt intended to be so. Ending people’s careers for agreeing with Lemoine’s reasonable point of view is wrong and dangerous.”

[James Wilson]

Stephen Sedley. I remember him. I appeared in front of him as Counsel sometime around 1994 when he was a High Court judge (he was later a Lord Justice of Appeal). It was a matter involving the Angolan secret service. Sedley had had some previous experience in dealing with Angolan matters: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Sedley#Career. He gave me a very courteous hearing before politely refusing my judicial review application…

“Perhaps there isn’t any such thing as the Israel lobby. Perhaps Israel is the only country on the planet without dedicated lobbyists. Perhaps organisations like We Believe in Israel, the Britain Israel Communications and Research Centre, and both the Labour and Conservative Friends of Israel, simply don’t exist.

Perhaps it’s simply untrue to say that people who are critical of Israel online, or supportive of Palestine, are bombarded by hostile replies from pro-Israel accounts.

Or perhaps, there’s a concerted effort by Israel’s advocates to warp and distort the definition of antisemitism to make it impossible to describe their activities. Was Faiza Shaheen wrong to apologise? I can understand why she did it. But nobody should have to apologise for liking a plain statement of fact.“

“Perhaps I imagined the evidence which clearly showed supporters of Israel working together to get information on me.

Perhaps I imagined them publishing confidential and dangerously defamatory information about me.

Perhaps I imagined lots more people publishing crude and dehumanising abuse of me. Perhaps I imagined the accusations of antisemitism about me.

Perhaps I imagined 4 years of litigation and the total wing-nut UK Lawyer for Israel trying to bankrupt me.

Perhaps I imagined the trial where supporters of Israel gave wildly exaggerated evidence to try to ruin my reputation.

Perhaps I imagined the judgment: https://bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/KB/2024/821.html.“

One of the unreliable witnesses for the losing defendants in that case was Simon Myerson, a barrister and Recorder (p/t judge). Others (all Zionist Jews) were likewise not given much if any credence by the trial judge.

Election 2024: a stray thought

So far, we have seen the not very exciting Reform UK get recent opinion poll ratings of between 9% and 15%. Not enough to get any seats if spread out evenly across the country.

However, reading the latest reaction to the absurd “National Service” idea floated by Sunak (you can read my own thoughts about that on the blog for yesterday and the previous day), it occurs to me that Reform UK might, just, do better than the polls suggest.

We have seen, in the past, people too ashamed or embarrassed to say to polling staff that they support the Conservative Party; maybe that is true here too, and that a proportion of the “Don’t Know” responders (recently often a plurality of those responding) are really secret Reform UK supporters, or secret nationalist or semi-nationalist supporters, or just secretly angry people.

That may be completely wrong, and we shall only know on 5 July 2024, but I could imagine quite a few people, either on the 4th or, before that, when filling out postal voting forms, thinking, “so **** it!” and voting Reform UK out of anger, frustration, or a wish to hurt the Conservative Party clowns, or the System in general.

Just a thought…

That 124,227 is only about 5%, not even, of the whole migrant influx over the past 7 years (at least 3 million). Then add the births to all migrants. Unsustainable, and in fact catastrophic to the future of this country.

What the misnamed “Conservatives” have apparently not quite understood is that most Reform UK voters are not voting Reform with the serious idea of winning many —or even any— seats in the Commons. They are voting Reform as a massive howl of protest (cf. the Brexit Referendum) and/or to give the Conservative Party an equally massive kicking.

Israel’s most important weapon is the pro-Israel Zionist “community” or web in many countries, particularly in the metaphorical West.

That Lazarus individual tweeted to another elderly Jew-Zionist woman several years ago that I (and someone else, of whom I had never even heard) should be given strychnine to drink. At the time, I could not be bothered to report it to the police, or even to Twitter, though “those” types mentioned themselves spend much of their time sneaking around and making malicious and contrived complaint to police and others.

There is a web of such “individuals” on Twitter/X, including most if not all of the accounts mentioned above, and mostly connected with the tiny but well-funded so-called “Campaign Against Antisemitism” or “CAA”, itself a cabal which constantly “complains”, often using outright lies (as exposed recently when its “CEO”, Gideon Falter, made demonstrably false claims about the Metropolitan Police); the “CAA” also tries to suborn police and Crown Prosecution Service personnel.

Even the Jewish/Zionist lobby has turned against the “CAA” liars recently.

I myself was expelled from Twitter/X in 2018 by reason of a concerted campaign by several of “those” mentioned, with others; I have no interest now in returning to Twitter/X.

Not very many people really want “Labour” to rule over them, but the first priority, which people really very much want, is to scrap this “Conservative” misgovernment, and stamp on its remains.

I see that Matt Goodwin’s view is not far from my own.

Poor little thing.

The only bright aspect to this horrible brutality is that millions of people are awakening, all over the world.

Let us hope that idiots in positions of power, whether in Poland, the Baltic states, or France, are listening.

Goodwin’s point is vitiated by his turning a blind eye to the Jew-Zionist influence permeating UK politics. My own attitude is closer to that of the cartoon below:

As a Northern European social-national thinker, I refuse to support either side in the Gaza/Israel/Palestine situation. It is more true to say that while I despise the Israeli side for its brutality and quasi-psychotic sadism yet, by the same token, I cannot support any form of violent Islamism, as such. I oppose the pervasive Jew-Zionist influence in UK politics and society, yet also oppose the migration-invasion of Britain, whether by Islamists, black hordes, or others.

I have, incidentally, not seen Goodwin say anything at all supportive of the suffering millions in Gaza, most of whom after all are women and children. Goodwin, like so many people seen frequently on UK mass media, is supportive, it seems, of Israel, or afraid to seem critical of it and/or Jew-Zionism and/or Zionists.

Israel-lobby msm talking head Iain Dale is standing as a candidate for the “Conservative” Party at GE 2024, but we do not yet know in which constituency. I am presuming one of the ~25 formerly safe or relatively safe ones still available.

Ah. Tunbridge Wells. The former MP, Greg Clark, was getting between 49% and 58% at several general elections, so Dale, unfortunately, looks like becoming an MP soon (I am presuming that he would only resign as a broadcaster if already as good as selected for the seat). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunbridge_Wells_(UK_Parliament_constituency)#Elections_in_the_2020s.

UK General Election 2024— talking point

[…but those problems (and others) have of course nothing at all to do either with the fact that a million unwanted non-white immigrants are flooding into the UK every single year, or with Government policy, so keep voting “Labour”, “Conservative” or “Liberal Democrat”…]

As long as I have been aware of his existence, from about 2010, Tim Montgomerie has been writing almost total nonsense about what should be UK government policy. He is, like oily Fraser Nelson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraser_Nelson] often said to be some kind of “senior commentator”. Ludicrous.

People such as Montgomerie, with only (what to me seems) a tenuous grip on the reality of social issues, should never hold power or exert more than the most peripheral influence, because what seems fine in the ivory tower often causes mayhem on the streets.

Tweeter “@WolfOf Badenoch” has pretty much encapsulated the “Conservative” offering…

As for Mark Spencer [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Spencer_(British_politician)], at best mediocre.

His constituency, Sherwood, is considered fairly safe now, but before 2010 was more marginal.

“The gradual Judaizing of our country“? Well, now that you mention it…but I had better not comment, in view of my recent free speech trial (in November 2023)….

My view of those questions, though, in simple cartoon form? See below:

[Israeli flag officially projected onto 10 Downing Street in October 2023]

[the last “Don’t Know” figure was 51%].

Obviously, it is “Goodnight Vienna” for the Conservative Party, but for me the “Don’t Know” category is the most significant. Imagine if a properly social-national movement could capture those “Don’t Knows”, or most of them and, with them, Britain.

Matt Goodwin says that the only way for Sunak to mitigate the unfolding electoral picture is to “throw everything” at the 30%-40% of 2019 Con voters, who intend to either abstain from the General Election or to vote Reform UK, and whose top issue now is “stopping the boats“.

Well, stopping the most obvious aspect of the migration invasion is important, but those “small boats” are not even 5% of the problem. About 50,000 individuals a year out of about a million in toto. Are those 2019 Con voters who are presently disenchanted, and who are spoken about by Goodwin, really that stupid? I do not know. Maybe; maybe not.

Thinking about it, though, what is meant by “throwing everything” at the cross-Channel invasion? Immediately arresting and detaining all such invaders? That is more or less what is being done, albeit in a “velvet glove” way.

So, yes, the invaders could be held in harsher, more restrictive conditions, not allowed to wander around (though how? Not give them money? Not allow them telephones or Internet access? Take away their shoes?). Difficult unless all are held in remote camps.

Even such measures, however, though they might be popular, would not solve the problem of the —on average— hundreds per day landing or being landed (often by UK Border “Farce“, RNLI or Royal Navy ships and boats) on our shores.

Would Sunak really sink the boats in mid-Channel? Will Sunak have the invaders fired upon? Of course not. So the actual flow, even of the outright “small boat” invaders, is not going to be stopped by Sunak.

What is left is words, empty words. As in “if you vote Conservative, we promise to do something to stop the boats…sometime after the Election…“

Not at all convincing.

The types of recruit quite likely to carry out atrocities.

Even now, after the devastation of the past 7 months, “they” have still not quite had their full pound of…whatever.

Blinken’s apparently mad but evidently carefully and deliberately made decision may trigger the use of even more powerful Russian weapons and, ultimately, even strategic ones.

Madder yet, this policy change will not turn the tide for the Kiev regime. Zelensky’s cabal is running out of soldiers, primarily. The Kiev war machine is almost running on empty.

Hungary should leave NATO. Britain should leave NATO.

For once, I agree with the egregious Myerson.

So there we have it. More hundreds of millions of pounds wasted. For nothing.

The only winners (save for the migrant invaders themselves) will be the Rwandans, who have received money and other help in return for services that they will now never have to provide.

Imagine someone who holds letters patent as “KC” being unable to spell “loses“. Britain, 2024.

Incidentally, as of 1530 today, and by my count, Myerson has tweeted no less than 51 times since this morning. It’s only mid-afternoon, so there are several hours still ahead before sunset, when he will stop, because today is a Friday. A Jewish-Zionist obsessive. He should not be sitting as a Recorder (p/t judge). To have him sitting on the Bench diminishes public confidence in the Bench itself.

Whatever the details of Starmer’s background and family (which he may have finessed for political reasons), it is clear from polling that he is not considered very suitable to be Prime Minister by most people. Having said that, he is beating Sunak by miles. The little Indian money-juggler is about to become an ex-Prime Minister, and he is taking most of his MPs with him.

Today, Sunak visited the “Titanic Quarter” in Belfast [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanic_Quarter].

I suppose that Sunak wanted to showcase “regeneration”, but could he not see that the name “Titanic” is mainly associated with the (sinking) ship of that name? Are the people around Sunak also so unaware that they missed how this looks, at this time, and as Sunak’s premiership sinks below the waves?

Actually, remembering those “special adviser” SpAd idiots drunkenly “dancing” at Downing Street when “Boris” (chief idiot) was PM, maybe it is not so surprising.

Con— 47 MPs. Meaning that ~297 Con MPs are about to lose their seats. It also means that ~343 new Labour MPs are about to take their places. Who are they? What are their beliefs? Are many even English?

“Britons who own their homes outright – who will have been insulated from recent housing cost increases – are split 32-32 on voting Labour or Conservative.

“The Right“is a meaningless label. Only proper social nationalism can save what is worth saving in the UK now. That does mean opposing Zionism (as well as Islamism). Goodwin is in some other reality.

I have the answers, but no-one, almost no-one, has ever heard of me, and of those who have not all, so far, support me or my views.

Not really. One System party soon to be removed, but another (with basically similar ideology on major issues) replacing it.

Only social-nationalism can save what is left of Britain, but there is no social-national party of the slightest importance in existence.

Tim Montgomerie over-estimates the importance of Farage, as does Matt Goodwin (see Goodwin’s blog posts).

Farage had the chance to become a leading political figure in or around 2014-2019. His oratorical and mass media skills are considerable, and he also has at least some organizational skills. As a politician, however, he is nowhere as effective as he is usually painted.

Farage has let down too many people too many times. UKIP’s failure in 2015 was not the fault of Farage but of the rigged FPTP system of the UK. 12% of the votes should have meant about 70 Commons seats (under proportional representational voting) but (under FPTP) did not.

Later, Farage stabbed his own supporters in the back when he withdrew Brexit Party, pretty much, from the 2019 General Election, thus allowing a “Boris”-idiot win.

Now, Farage has decided to ignore the 2024 General Election, in order to concentrate on helping Trump in the USA!

Farage is “controlled opposition”, as were UKIP and Brexit Party; Reform UK is no different.

I have always said that Farage is —despite his admitted skills— not a very good politician. He himself has failed to be elected anywhere under FPTP, though he was repeatedly elected as an MEP, under the European Parliament’s proportional system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Nigel_Farage. He also came close to being elected in 2015 at South Thanet, but was beaten, by only a couple of points, by Craig Mackinlay, the pro-Brexit Con Party candidate.

Farage pulled back from the brink just at the moment when Brexit Party might have broken through the “three main parties” scam-bubble, in 2019, because he wanted to make sure that the Conservative Party won the GE. That is no real leader. Likewise, he is now running away to the USA because Reform UK looks like not getting anywhere very much (though Matt Goodwin seems to think otherwise).

Farage is, of course, not social-national. More a kind of pseudo-nationalist pseudo-“libertarian”. It was the failure to go social-national that —along with a grossly-unfair electoral system— sank UKIP, Brexit Party and, now, Reform UK (as seems likely to happen).

Farage, in my opinion, is now by no means as important politically as Montgomerie and Goodwin apparently believe.

Tim Montgomerie also over-estimates the Conservative Party. He says that, without Farage leading Reform UK, the misnamed Conservative Party will live to fight another day. Montgomerie underestimates, in my view, the contempt and hatred felt by very many for the Con Party now.

Yes, Sunak is finished, but where does that leave the Con Party? Led by some other non-European such as Suella Braverman or Kemi Badenoch? Puppets of the Jewish lobby and Israel.

Without a Conservative Party with any hope of getting into government for years, or ever, Farage is finished politically as well. After GE 2024, “Reform UK”, and certainly Farage, will be a sideshow of a sideshow.

I do not think that the presence or absence of Farage during GE 2024 will much affect Reform UK’s performance; maybe by a few points, and, yes, that will help the Con Party, but not much. A few points, a few seats.

Despite the very uninteresting and unwanted offering from fake Starmer-Labour, the primary wish of most people now is to give the “Conservatives” a massive kicking. Voting Labour will be the way to do that for most voters, voting LibDem in southern English constituencies may be another way, and voting Reform UK as a kind of “FU!” (to the Conservative Party) is yet another way to do that, without having to vote Labour.

Well, we shall know soon, by about the 5th of July.

I disagree only as to the idea that Farage is “needed“. He is not needed.

I remember seeing that drunken loonie in Whitehall (in the street) a couple of years ago, on one of my now-rare visits to London.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bray.

One can only despise Reform UK. Controlled opposition. Pro-Israel. Pro-Jewish lobby. Pro-finance capitalism.

Having said that, and paradoxically, I hope that Reform UK does well at the General Election, thus helping to eliminate the treasonous “Conservative” Party, and helping thereby to collapse the present rigged “2-3 main parties” system as a whole, albeit at the cost of a Starmer-Labour “elected” dictatorship for a while.

Is that a “you know who”? I am, for once, unsure.

Ha. Just read that profile. A typical “diversity hire” parasite.

Goodwin is, of course, correct here. Look at the “Conservative” dummy listening to him, though. Like a stunned fish.

A million, more or less, into the UK, every year. The “net” 685,000 are almost all non-Europeans. Once you factor in maybe 200,000+ (real) Brits leaving in the hope of a better life in New Zealand, Australia, Canada etc, that means that, more or less, 900,000 more non-whites are entering the UK and staying here, and breeding here, every single year.

What do you think that Britain will be like by 2034? Or 2044?

Is commonsense breaking out in the Berlin Chancellery? Or Realpolitik, which may in effect be the same, in this case.

What goes around comes around…

The US Government, and American society, were not always occupied and ruled by the Jewish/Israel lobby. It happened gradually, mainly after 1956 and Suez. Even in the 1960s, the (((occupation))) was not complete.

I should say that the level of penetration seen today happened largely just after the Ronald Reagan era. George Bush snr openly proclaimed the New World Order (NWO) in early 1990, signalling an end to the Cold War era as such, and also signalling the beginning of the 33-year (1989-2022) largely unchallenged rule of NWO/ZOG (New World Order/Zionist Occupation Government).

That period is now at an end, and we are in the next 33-year cycle (2022-2055), the last one I shall see in my present incarnation.

Leaving the history behind, it is clear that the US Government (i.e. NWO/ZOG) only accepts international law when it is convenient for the USA (actually, Israel, and the Jewish lobby, not the USA as such) to do so. The USA has been poisoned by the bandit state.

It is very strange how the Israeli Jews seem to feel a compulsion to ape, not the Third Reich as such, but their own distorted image of the Third Reich, comprising only the most negative (supposed) parts of those 12 years in greater Germany (1933-1945).

I suppose it all comes from the upbringing and education (brainwashing) most if not all of them receive when young, then continuing throughout their lives.

Bring ihn an den Zug!

I still think that the Con Party will end up with fewer than 50 seats. I originally thought between 50 and 150, but I just wonder what kind of person now thinks seriously of voting Con, as things stand. Labour may well be rubbish, and no doubt will fail dismally in government, but the bar for dismal has been set very low by the past 14 years of nonsense.

The NHS does it a different way, by employing Africans and others with very questionable qualifications and skills.

Secretive cabals and ruling circles in the West are actively promoting nuclear war with Russia as some kind of acceptable possibility. All that enormous misery, death, and upheaval, which might destroy most life on Earth, all so that an unpleasant Jew-Zionist regime, the brutal, corrupt and shambolic dictatorship in Kiev, can save itself from being justly crushed? Mad, and evil.

“Mark, rather than making witless jokes about a helicopter crash, please can you focus on giving instructions to your solicitors about my claim for costs against you and your firm Patron Law. Your former client – the one who is still alive – is vulnerable. He and I need some explanation as to why you insisted I give you huge sums of money to settle my claim.“

This will probably end up with the egregious Jew-Zionist solicitor, Mark Lewis, and/or his colleagues, having to settle a professional negligence claim.

Where Goodwin goes wrong is in failing to see that only some form or forms of social nationalism can save Europe as anything much more than a geographic space inhabited mainly (after about 2100, possibly before then) by non-Europeans.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalergi_Plan

Goodwin is also entirely in consonance with the Jew-Zionist/Israel lobby. That means that he gets an easy ride from the mass media, but also means that he has hitched his wagon to the “controlled opposition” populists such as Reform UK. They cannot appeal to the bulk of the people, but can only hoover up votes from disenchanted people who were, mostly, Conservative Party supporters until recently. Some were also Labour voters, true, but not so many. Maybe —at peak— 20% of the electorate.

“I’m less worried about Lewis’ slips with the date and the grammar, and more worried about his grasp of the law! It seems Lewis thinks when that when you sue for libel, you are not entitled to an undertaking from the defendant saying they won’t further publish the libel because it is you that has put the libel in the public domain.

So if you don’t sue for an undertaking/injunction, they can further publish. And, er, if you do sue for an undertaking/injunction, there’s no need for one because you’ve put the libel in the public domain. No doubt libel lawyers will be scratching their heads at this.”

Ha. The fact is that, for all his brief “celebrity” about 10-12 years ago, Lewis is not much of a lawyer, in my opinion. That is even if we leave aside Lewis’s own admission, before the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal in 2018, that at times he had no idea what he was saying, writing, or doing (by reason of his intake of prescription drugs).

“A tale in four acts.

1. In Nov 2021 I suggested a nominal (say £5) settlement with Mr Cantor.

2. Mr Lewis rejected it in principle, apparently on Mr Cantor’s instructions.

3. Mr Cantor now says Mr Lewis said the only way to get a zero money settlement was to ask me for £5k.

4. Because I could never offer Mr Cantor anything better than a nominal settlement, and that was explicitly rejected by Mr Lewis, Mr Cantor lost at trial and is likely to lose his home. What was going on here?“

This is far from having been the first time that “Mark Lewis Lawyer” (his old Twitter/X name, now supplanted by “@MLewisLawyer”) has acted entirely unprofessionally, but up until now the fanatical and semi-loonie Lewis has managed to wriggle out of professional sanction, except in 2018, when the Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal fined and censured him for having tweeted violently-abusive things on social media.

Even then, supportive Jews stumped up, via a crowdfunder, the £12,500 penalty (being a fine plus costs). Lewis’s fine itself (£2,500) had been reduced by two-thirds because he had effectively no money. His own Counsel said to the Tribunal that Lewis had not only been affected mentally by his (prescription) drug intake, but that “his only assets” consisted of his own clothes, a mobility scooter, and a private pension worth £70 a week.

Lewis’s honesty, as well as his competence, has been in question for many many years.

In the Wilson case, should the recent defendant, Cantor, wish to have reduced his liability for the costs of the successful Claimant (Wilson), he has (it seems) little choice but to go after Lewis. Should Lewis have no or not sufficient means to satisfy the costs, then I suppose that Cantor’s remedy would be, in principle, to go after Lewis’s legal partners in the law firm to which he is now attached, Patron Law.

It will be interesting to see what eventually happens. Unfortunately, the costs will be less than they normally would be (had solicitors and Counsel represented the Claimant); it seems that Wilson represented himself much of the time.

Still, Cantor and maybe Wilson can both complain to the Solicitors’ Regulation Authority. I hope they both will.

The savagery of a bygone age, come to life again in our times. Europe must create a civilization without savagery, and without savages (from either side).

Not something from which I myself suffer, thank God, but such conditions are more widespread than often thought. The social security system as at present constituted is designed (especially since 2010 and the influence of Dunce Duncan Smith, aka “IDS”) to attack the sick and disabled, and to make them jump through hoops, rather than to help them.

God. That stupid woman talking rubbish is actually the Prime Minister of Estonia! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaja_Kallas. Her father was also Prime Minister of Estonia.

Personally, I think that the Baltic states, or pribaltika as the Russians call them, have every right to self-determination, but their leaders have now gone well beyond that, in becoming puppets of NATO, or really of NWO/ZOG.

Zahawi and many like him (not only Kurds like him, but also Pakistanis, Indians, Jews, Arabs etc) have brought the ethos of the Middle Eastern and South Asian bazaars to Westminster. Many English MPs are no better now. Just unclean.

Interesting, though the headline is a little misleading. Arnhem was, after all, at a time when the main action was not on the admittedly very active Western Front but the ever-rolling-westward Red Army on the Eastern Front.

The amusing aspect is that anyone should be surprised about it all. Give tens of millions or more to a load of black “activists”, and then wonder “where the money went“? Ha ha.

Interesting way of looking at it…

“Extradition or continuation of legal battles – Assange faces a decisive trial on May 20.

The “court saga” of journalist Julian Assange, which has been dragging on for more than ten years, could end in the UK as early as Monday. Assange faces a May 20 hearing in London’s High Court that could result in him being sent to the United States to face espionage charges or give him another chance to appeal his extradition, ABC News reports.

The outcome of the case will depend on how much weight the judges place on assurances from US officials that Assange’s rights will not be harmed if he stands trial in the US. As the publication explains, London judges must rule on whether the court has satisfied Washington’s guarantee that Assange will not face the death penalty and that he can rely on the right and freedom of speech provided for by the First Amendment of the US Constitution if he is tried for espionage in United States.

Assange’s lawyers say the journalist could be on a plane across the Atlantic within 24 hours of the decision, or his case could again drag on for months of legal battles.“

If Assange is extradited, he may not face the death penalty (for telling the truths the System did not want told) but may face 10, 20, 50, 100 years (sentence) in some American “Supermax” giant tomb.

What a disgrace, that the UK is so craven in respect of the USA these days. Long ago, America was our colony; now we are America’s colony.
